parts for stagea

[SpaceCowboyOfCalgary]

hey all!

Just purchased a 1999 Stagea RS4S and i am wondering what would be good mods that i could do to make it into a really nice to drive street car. Already has a FMIC, exhaust and a boost controller as well as some suspension work. any recommendations on parts to keep her running good or things that could be replaced for longevity? 

Thanks in advance, looking forward to being apart of these forums!

cheers from Canada!

Must be a rare beast in Canada! Auto or manual?

A Nistune chip would optimise performance and fuel economy.

You could spend thousands (a couple or ten) to make it go faster but for reliability go through the do it yourself section and the maintenance section to help with replacing all fluids (engine, transmission, brakes) with new stuff (may not have been done in almost 20 years) and I guess particularly in Canada make sure you have fresh antifreeze of the correct specification.

If the coils look like the original ones you could forestall future problems by getting new OEM coils or Splitfires and check and if necessary change the plugs. See if the coil looms look old and cracked as they can be purchased for not too much $$.

And spend a bit of time going through the Stagea section - lots of good stuff there!

True, t is pretty rare up here, manual as well.

Thanks for all the info!
